Happy New year ketofam!
We start the new year with keto-friendly burritos. I’ve called these breakfast burritos as scrambled eggs are the star ingredient, but you could happily enjoy them for any meal.
I’ve paired the eggs with our homemade tomato salsa (or you can use ready made), sour cream, cheese and avocado, but feel free to get adventurous and add in any of your other favorite burrito components; shredded chicken, jalapeños, hot sauce etc. For the wrapping we used our homemade Keto Tortillas but you can use store-bought if you can find a keto-friendly option.
These low-carb burritos are best served immediately, but you could get the ingredients ready the night before to speed up preparation time.
